Question

the companies planet jump and just bounce run many trampoline parks around the country. the box plots show the number of trampolines at their parks. which conclusion is best supported by the box plots? both companies have a park with exactly 24 trampolines. planet jump has a more consistent number of trampolines at its parks. a typical just bounce park has fewer trampolines than a typical planet jump park. just bounce has more parks with 25 trampolines than planet jump.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first option

Box - plots show quartiles and range, not exact values for individual parks. So, we can't say both companies have a park with exactly 24 trampolines.

Step2: Analyze the second option

A more consistent data set has a smaller inter - quartile range (IQR). The IQR for Planet Jump is larger (since the box is longer) than for Just Bounce. So, Planet Jump is not more consistent.

Step3: Analyze the third option

The median (middle line of the box) for Just Bounce is lower than the median for Planet Jump. A median represents a typical value. So, a typical Just Bounce park has fewer trampolines than a typical Planet Jump park.

Step4: Analyze the fourth option

Box - plots do not show the frequency of a particular value (like 25 trampolines). They show the distribution of data. So, we can't say Just Bounce has more parks with 25 trampolines.

Answer:

A typical Just Bounce park has fewer trampolines than a typical Planet Jump park.
